Ingredients
Scale
Salami Roll-Ups
- 8 slices Genoa or hard salami (medium thickness)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons finely diced dill pickles (patted dry)
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the softened cream cheese with finely diced dill pickles, chopped green onions if using, and garlic powder or Italian seasoning until fully combined into a smooth, flavorful spread.
- Arrange Salami: Lay the salami slices flat on a piece of parchment paper or a clean surface, being careful not to overlap them to ensure easy spreading and rolling.
- Spread Filling: Using a small spoon or butter knife, spread about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice of salami, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
- Roll Up: Starting from one end, tightly roll each slice of salami with the filling inside, applying gentle pressure to keep the filling sealed and the roll compact.
- Secure and Chill: If necessary, secure each roll-up with a toothpick to hold its shape. Place the roll-ups in the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes to firm up before serving.
- Serve: Serve the roll-ups whole as finger food or slice them into bite-sized pinwheels, perfect for serving at parties or as a keto-friendly snack anytime.
Notes
- For best results, use cream cheese softened to room temperature for easier mixing and spreading.
- Pat dill pickles dry to avoid excess moisture in the cream cheese filling.
- Green onions are optional but add a fresh note; omit if not preferred.
- Use toothpicks to keep roll-ups secure during chilling and serving.
- These roll-ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for best freshness.
